OTTUMWA, IOWA — Jim Parker, jobless for a year, says he could never keep a windfall that belonged to somebody else. Parker found a purse stuffed with $15,000 in cash on a street last week. Parker, 55, returned the money. ''I just kind of thanked the Lord,'' said the woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity. She said she put the purse on top of her car and then forgot it.
